Big Mac Attacks

While Bridget complains of robocalls from robo-Mitt, the Weinkopf home has been besieged as of late by solicitations from the McCain camp. My wife reports that three pro-McCain calls came in today, one from Mrs. MacDaddy herself. The other two came from generic-sounding announcers, the first telling us how wonderfully Reaganeasque McCain is, the second warning about about the evil and wickedness of the Mittster.

Finally, for good measure, we also got a push poll, which asked a series of questions along the lines of: “Would you vote for Romney even if it were revealed that he strangles kittens in his basement, then eats them?”

Apparently the McCain camp has decided to turn the volume up to 11. For once, I’m glad my candidate is too poor to afford robo-calls!

Jonathan is right — with all this mud slinging back and forth, I need a shower, too.

There are feature stories floating throughout the media that describe how McCain is winning support and approval from conservatives. Where is this anomaly taking place? Something might be going on within Tamaulipas, Jalisco, Chihuahua and other states in Mexico. After all, McCains Hispanic Outreach Director, Juan Hernandez holds dual citizenship in the United States and Mexico.

By his own words, the seditious Hernandez supports open borders as part of Mexicos Reconquista of the United States. Hernandez, while on McCains presidential campaign also holds office as Advisor to the Mexican federal government. This Mexican nationalist and McCain cohort lists his home residence with wife and kiddies in Mexico City. McCain probably catalogues his amigo Juan Hernandez as one of the staunch conservative supporters.

Should McCain pull off a hijack of the GOP nomination, in the general Election, tremendous numbers of prospective voters will either cast their ballot for the Flat Earth Banana party candidate or not show up at all. The level of revulsion held for McCain by conservatives is without precedent in modern American history.
